Mrs. Virginia ‘Ginger’ Lent

July 4, 1946 - January 16, 2021

Virginia Ginger Lent passed away on Jan. 16th, 2021 in Gloversville, NY, at the age of 74. Ginger is predeceased by her father, Otto William Nielsen; mother Virginia Nielsen; separated Husband William Lent; brother-in-law Nicholas Fusco; and Albert Ambrosino, Ginger's long-time love. Ginger is survived by her sister, Christine Fusco; niece Kory Arendt; nephew Jack Fusco; niece Nikki Palumbo; cousin Leigh Baker; her stepchildren, great-nephews, great-niece, and so many more wonderful cousins. Ginger was born in Plainfield New Jersey on July 4th, 1946. Ginger graduated high school and continued her education to become a licensed practicing nurse. Ginger spent many years as a dedicated home nurse's aide. Ginger was a special soul, with a big, kind, and caring heart. Ginger is known for her infectious laugh, the love of her family, and her passion for animals. Ginger was known to have multiple animals of her own. She kept anything from bunnies to greyhounds! Ginger received her first Greyhound, Sasha, from Albert. Albert found Sasha at a Greyhound rescue for retired track dogs. Sasha became the first of many greyhounds to enter their lives. Ginger devoted countless hours of her time to Forever Home Greyhound Adoption. Nothing brought her more joy than helping an animal, of any kind, find it forever home. Due to the on-going pandemic, we have no plans for a service or funeral at this time. When covid-19 gets under control, a small gathering will be put together to celebrate and reminisce all of the joy Ginger brought into our lives. Ginger was cremated and her remains are with her family. We have a special request for Donations or flowers to be sent to Forever Home Greyhound Adoption: "Forever Home Greyhound Adoptions | Greyhound Adoption in NY serving the entire Northeast" https://foreverhomegreyhounds.com Or Ginger spent the last few years at Well House Nursing home. Please think of sending flowers, lunch, or cards of appreciation to the staff at Wells house. What they do, is truly amazing.
